Following the shocking announcement that Prince Andrew has officially been stripped of his ‘prince’ title, attention has quickly turned to the futures of his two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

In a statement released late Wednesday (October 30), Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III had formally removed his brother’s remaining royal style and titles amid renewed scrutiny over Andrew’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” the statement read.

The 65-year-old royal has also reportedly been asked to vacate Royal Lodge — the Windsor residence he has shared with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, since 2004.

“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,” the Palace added. “Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”

The decision follows the release of Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, the explosive book by Virginia Giuffre, whose allegations have long cast a shadow over Andrew’s reputation. The memoir includes new claims about his friendship with Epstein, reigniting public outrage.

It comes after Andrew was previously stripped of his ‘Duke of York’ title and military roles. His former wife, Sarah Ferguson, has also lost the right to use ‘Duchess of York’ following the publication of an alleged 2011 email in which she reportedly described Epstein as a “supreme friend.”

While the Palace statement made no mention of Beatrice or Eugenie, royal observers believe both women will retain their titles. Under King George V’s 1917 Letters Patent, the children of a sovereign’s son are entitled to royal titles by birthright.

Importantly, neither of the York sisters are working royals. Beatrice, 37, serves as a strategist for the tech company Afiniti, while Eugenie, 35, is a director at the Mayfair art gallery Hauser & Wirth.

As such, they do not represent the King in an official capacity, and the scandal surrounding their father is unlikely to impact their personal or professional lives.

Beatrice currently divides her time between her family home in the Cotswolds — where she lives with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and their two daughters — and a state-funded apartment at St James’s Palace. Eugenie, meanwhile, lives primarily in Portugal with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two sons, while maintaining a residence at Ivy Cottage, Kensington Palace.

Royal commentator Victoria Murphy previously told The Mirror: “As far as Beatrice and Eugenie go, I think there’s an appreciation of the fact that this scandal doesn’t involve them, and it’s not fair for it to impact them directly in the independent lives they are carving out for themselves.”
